Houston Here We Come

This week we talk with Molly Beck Dean who is the Director of the ELCA National Youth Gathering. A tri-annual gathering of over 30,000 youth and adults. In 2018 the gathering will take place in Houston, Tx.

Molly has a vast experience working with youth of the church and is the perfect person to lead this charge. We had an amazing conversation with Molly and we hope you enjoy it!

Conversation with Laura Everett on Urban Spirituality

Laura Everett is the Executive Director of the Massachusetts Council of Churches. Almost ten years ago Laura found herself in need of transportation and ended up with a bike. Thousands of miles later she can be found riding to and from work in the Boston area.

She talks about her life as a cycle commuter and what she has learned about riding and about her faith.
